Students discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

First graders explore how to tell time by the hour. They draw the minute and hour hands on a clock to match the time shown by the teacher on the overhead clock. Students write the time shown on a worksheet. They read "The Grouchy Ladybug."

Students explore place value up to ten-digit numerals. Students will listen to information on the place value system and use money to bid on prizes, accurately explaining the value of their money using the place value system. They will...

First graders examine data on a graph and determine which variable on the graph has more. They draw pictures of their family members and determine which families have more members than other families. Using squares of paper to depict...

Young scholars explore physics. They investigate the strategies used by an engineer to solve a problem. Students construct various models to solve the problem. They display their solutions and explain how they solved the problem.

The teacher conducts a survey of each student's favorite color. The teacher then creates a pie chart identifying the information gathered. The students display mastery by creating their own pie chart displaying the same information.

Fifth graders examine how to see patterns by showing how things work together. They identify, analyze and determine a rule for predicting and extending numberical patterns involving operations of whole numbers, decimals and fractions.

Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.

Young scholars construct the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Fifth graders use the Internet to use an interactive program which helps them explain the Internet better. They take a tour of a computer museum and focus on how the Internet works through an exhibit.

Students illustrate the order of operations and evaluate expressions using the order of operations. They create and correctly at least 3 out of 4 expressions using the order of operations.

Fifth graders accurately measure the distance to eight points on an uneven surface by conducting a simulation of sattelite altimetry. They create a two-dimensional model of the simulated ocean surface by graphing data from the Radar Run...

Students translate a mathematical idea from one form to another. They compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system.

Learners use Skittles as manipulatives to practice computing decimals from fractions, computing decimals into percentages, and creating bar graphs from gathered data.

Students participate in an interactive Internet activity that allows them to practice counting money. Students can work independently or cooperatively as they "drag and drop" coins using a mouse.

Young scholars demonstrate basic construction skills by building a free standing structure, using predetermined materials. They compute cost of structure by using multiplication skills or calculator.

Students study grocery receipts to simulate the archaeological activity of classifying items. They discuss the receipts as if they were find lists.

Young scholars create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Fourth graders explore fractions. They use Skittles and M&M's to practice adding and subtracting fractions. Students review the numerator and the denominator of fractions. They count the number of each color of Skittles and M&M's...

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

First graders explore non-unit fractions. They discuss the parts of fractions and identify the numerator and the denominator. They discuss various examples of fractions. Students write fractions that are equivalent to the ones written by...

Second graders identify how to tell time to the quarter hour. Then they complete a worksheet of twelve problems on their own given ten minutes and getting at least eight correct. Students also practice telling time as a class while the...

Students examine how people grow and mature at different rates. They create a graph and a timeline to organize the data they collect.

Second graders examine how data can be transferred into pictures on a pictograph. They analyze data on a graph about chewing gum, and create a pictograph that illustrates data about their preferences for the taste of bubble gum. ...
